Once upon a time, my husband and I owned a pizzeria and this dish was always popular on the menu. We've since sold the restaurant, but I still make the soup for all kinds of potlucks and gatherings. It's always a big hit and everyone asks for the recipe. —Estella Peterson, Madras, Oregon

We really enjoyed this soup. I changed a couple of things, used tortellini instead of ravioli and I substituted Italian diced tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes. Leftovers are just as good if not better!

We really didn't care for this soup.Nothing particularly wrong with it just not what we like. I won't make again.

Made this soup tonight for dinner. The only thing J changed was I used turkey pepperoni to make it a little more Weight Watcher friendly. 1 1/2 cup serving ended up being 4 smart points! Soup was very tasty and I made a nice side salad to go with it. Will be making this again. Maybe next time use some turkey sausage instead and diced tomatoes.

Made for our family of four for dinner. The kiddos didn't care for it and my husband I didn't love it either. We followed directions...adding some sliced sausage, but keeping all else the same. Flavorful, but feel that it would be perhaps better with a condensed tomato base (creamy) base.

I made this recently for our family and everyone loved it. I made two changes. I like to hand crush the sliced stewed tomatoes a bit before using them in recipes as they don't break down enough to suit me. Also, I only cooked it for about six hours in my somewhat newer slow cooker, which was plenty of cooking time. We'll definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

After DH tried pepperoni pizza soup from a can, I promised to find a fresher, healthier homemade version. This is not low calorie, but was a lot more satisfying. I left off the olive and mozzarella garnish to reduce the sodium and used mini ravioli. Next time I'd puree the tomatoes because the chunks didn't add much to the soup and tasted acidic with the other ingredients. I think a more tomato soup like base would enhance the flavor.

This soup is great! We add more broth and stewed tomatoes so we have more broth for bread dipping. Tortellinis work well. We've also added zucchini. Made this several times. Kids like it too.
